CL:AIRE is pleased to announce that three more ADVOCATE bulletins are now ready to download, with the others to follow over the next few months.
CL:AIRE’s ADVOCATE bulletins describe practical aspects of research which have direct application to the characterisation, monitoring or remediation of contaminated soil or groundwater.
- ADVOCATE Bulletin 6 (written by Oksana Coban)>>>
Nitrogen biotransformation in horizontal subsurfaceflow constructed wetlands treating contaminated groundwater - ADVOCATE Bulletin 7 (written by Natalia Fernandez de Vera)>>>
Vadose zone characterisation at industrial contaminated sites - ADVOCATE Bulletin 8 (written by Lukasz Cieslak)>>>
The plume fringe: a zone of increased potential for biodegradation in contaminant plumes
The ADVOCATE project has also produced several videos on its website describing aspects of fellows' research.
- The effects of the river restoration on the surface water quality
- Discovering the mysteries below contaminated ground
- The importance of protecting aquifers from contaminated plumes
- The importance of remediation of contaminated groundwater megasites
- Interaction between microorganisms in aquifers to biodegrade organic contaminants

ADVOCATE (ADVancing Sustainable In Situ RemediatiOn for ContAminaTed Land and GroundwatEr) is a Marie Curie Initial Training Network, funded by the European Union. The network was established to coordinate European research on in situ remediation concepts and applications from laboratory scale through to field scale evaluation and technology demonstration.
